I am pretty sure there are far more that think he's a clown and/or goofball, or as Jon Stewart so helpfully coined, a douchenozzle.

WTF??? I have doubts about that source. 38% for a Brazil???? I was in Brazil a few times after Nov. 2020. I couldn’t go anywhere without Brazilians asking me what happened and how annoyed they were that Trump didn’t get re-elected.Trump is/was wildly unpopular among the majority of industrialised nations, AFAIK.
As for the reasons why - he is obviously not a clever man who has absolutely no business being near any position of power, who now has a cult like following among others who are even dumber than he (some of whom are in this thread)
Non Americans who support Trump tend to be reactionary folks with little interest in policy or history, but prefer to communicate their political preferences in memes. At least from my experience.

During his presidency I stepped foot in South Korea, Germany, India, Vietnam, Thailand, and Philippines. It was nothing but Trump fans that I across.

He's the Ultimate Anti-Politician
About as Non-PC as they come
And he's 100% for US Interests and the Globalists can fuck right off... Look at what they did during COVID.

Because he's the first president since Reagan that didn't start a war and isn't a pussy.

I was indifferent to Trump when he took office, had I been a U.S citizen I probably may have voted for him over Hilary. There were qualities I liked, he was bringing a lot to the table and I thought we'd see a shake up and a lot of politicians finally called out on their bullshit. He was also absolutely hilarious.
He started off okay, at times he should have kept his mouth shut and he had a few controversial policies but overall the economy was pretty strong and he was delivering on some of his promises. The media shares some of the blame, clearly were showing their biases and not giving him a fair go but in the end I think he's largerly responsible for the U.S becoming far more politically divided than they were previously in recent history.
Had he left office quietly, aside from the handling of the pandemic, he would've had an okay presidency, certainly the most hilarious and entertaining one but as time goes on, he has caused a lot of damage to civil democracy with his mouth and incompetence.

I think a lot of the admiration is reactionary. He doesn't behave like the usual phony politician and says things the average Joe might blurt out amongst friends. His pandering is of a different sort than what we're used to, if no more genuine.
And like it or not, the guy isn't the total dummy his detractors make him out to be. He might be of average intelligence using the traditional metric of judging that sort of thing but he can work a room and has a weird sort of high EQ. Hell of a used car salesman that guy.

lol @ the "Only ppl in western nations like him" by MicroBrew
It's the opposite. The people who hate him tend to be westerners. The rest of the world either don't give a shit either way or actually like him. Outside of 1st world western nations, people tend to be conservative.....except for the Taiwanese who are more liberal than other Asians...but actually my few Taiwanese friends were rooting for Trump in 2020.

Many countries outside of America are very strongly influenced by American policy and American preference. And he represented a change and a shift away from some of the sillier or more destructive aspects of exported American culture - trans nonsense, porous borders, etc.
So, for example, just before our last general election, we saw the formation of ActionSA, a party that rode in on a platform of stronger borders. And it was beyond obvious, given some of their rhetoric, that they'd been legitimately inspired by Trump's rhetoric on the same topic. As of right now, strengthening our borders is finally a serious issue that all parties have to keep in mind and that even the ruling party has been pressured into paying attention to: something they'd long ignored, despite our history of violent xenophobia. ActionSA is now at the centre of a growing coalition of nationalist-minded parties opposing and pushing back the ruling party. Great stuff.
He also openly questioned some of America's warmongering and was critical of NATO. Considering how much damage the West did to Africa with the invasion of Libya, that was incredibly refreshing.
Funnily enough, I know a couple of Nigerians and one Malawian who like him because of his shithole comments. He's a straight shooter. And a proud people who live in a shithole aren't necessarily ignorant to the fact that they live in a shithole, and it does far more to encourage positive change when an American president points out that it's a shithole than when the Western aristocracy patronisingly pretends that reality is not reality.
He's also non-PC and represented a change in the status quo. It's the same reason Obama was so popular. Obama just turned out to be a piece of shit that helped to destroy Libya.
He was also, to use the language of America, the least white supremacist president you've had for a while. He got along well with leaders who weren't of European descent and, while he never came to Africa, he also didn't treat African leaders like leaders less worthy of respect. When Obama was here, he left a bad taste in everyone's mouth.
He was also openly critical of Islamic terrorism - which was more popular than it might otherwise have been, had the collapse of Libya not helped to spread Islamic terrorism across the continent.

- meme times were glorious
- loved the fact that he triggered to the max one category i despise - the arrogant, sanctimonious, preachy libtards
- he gave courage to anything anti-woke, and he should be given a nobel prize for it, since wokeness is cancer for any society. he made what was trying real hard to stay unknown reveal itself - the ultra authoritarian far left creeps, and it's never going back in the bottle.
- as a president he doesn't seem to have been worse than the current one, or than bush, so i don't know what the fuss is about. it's just ultra partisan bullshit (look, he drinks water wrong!)
- us in europe got the chance to take a good look at the monster that was slowly coming towards us as well and thank god, it looks like a massive number of people, easily the majority, around here can't be fooled anymore.
so it wasn't his acts as president that were important, but what he managed to involuntarily reveal.
